How to recover a crashed drive
I bought this to try to recover files frm a crashed Dell Dimension tower computer, with an 80GB 3.5 HDD. The drive would no longer boot up the original computer and has a lot of data files left on it. Connecting to my new computer with the SATA/IDE it is asking me to format the drive, which I assume I do not want to do. But without formatting, it does not seem to enable recognition of the drive. Had Windows XP on the Dell, with multiple (family) users. Is there a way or software to enable punching through to read the data?
